Significant substances used in the production method:
Succinic Acid, Octyldodecanol, dimer dilinoleyl alcohol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil.

What it is used for and where
Polyesters are synthetic polycondensation polymers that are generally derived from dicarboxylic organic acids and diols and contain an ester functional group on the main polymer chain.

Cosmetics
Skin conditioning agent - Emollient. Emollients have the characteristic of enhancing the skin barrier through a source of exogenous lipids that adhere to the skin, improving barrier properties by filling gaps in intercorneocyte clusters to improve hydration while protecting against inflammation. In practice, they have the ability to create a barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Emollients are described as degreasing or refreshing additives that improve the lipid content of the upper layers of the skin by preventing degreasing and drying of the skin. The problem with emollients is that many have a strong lipophilic character and are identified as occlusive ingredients; they are oily and fatty materials that remain on the skin surface and reduce transepidermal water loss. In cosmetics, emollients and moisturisers are often considered synonymous with humectants and occlusives.
